Tue, 29 Oct 2013 15:43:05 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2902052I love how one person bashes Chip, it gets a lot of thumbs up, and then everybody hops on that bandwagon. What is he supposed to say in response to that question? ‘Yep, the defenses have figured us out. We’re screwed.’ Of course he’s going to say what he said. If you watched his entire press conference instead of this little out of context part of it you would see that he definitely said he needs to call better plays as well.

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 03:05:37 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2901111It’s not the scheme. Teams have historically defended better after the quarter of the season. Here are reasons why the Eagles are losing.

1. Need a healthy mobile quarterback to run the system.
2. Need a better O-Line for this offense
3. Need a defense to stop the run
4. Finally the NFL, if anyone hasn’t noticed are “letting” teams bump and run aggressively beyond 5 yards the last 3 weeks. Not allowing spacing…Perhaps because writers were complaining that it’s turning into the Arena Football League. I honestly think that’s the biggest reason these offense’s have slowed down. Denver being the acception to the rule because they have a quarterback who can adjust to the this type defense but even they aren’t putting up the same offensive numbers without turning the ball over.

Your number 3 doesn’t hold much weight they have one of the best run d’s in the league and haven’t given up a 100 yard rusher this year. They need a pass rush desperately.

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:50:00 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2900951I agree that this level of ineptitude on offense is alarming, although certainly a lot of that has to do with Barkley just not being close to ready. But keep in mind that Andy Reid, who is now 8-0 with KC, won 1 of his last 12 games coaching the same team with more or less the same personnel that Chip is now struggling with. Chip has been somewhat disappointing so far, but we are a mere 8 games in to a 3-4 year rebuilding process.

You impressed against a poor Redskins defense great job Chip. I won’t say this is a failure yet, I’ll let him get a couple drafts and see what free agents he adds (If he stays in the NFL that long)

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:39:36 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2900933Yes Chip you need a qb, and the way you are going you will have a chance for a bumper crop this year. I was concerned when this guy surrounded him with too many college coaches. Put your guys in a place to execute and succeed.

1. He needs a QB for his system. He doesn’t have one. He’s SCREWED without that guy, and those guys don’t grow on trees.

2. His offense relies on speed and pace, which equates to work ethic. His players either don’t have the ethic, or haven’t bought in to it so are holding back, which equates to the same thing.

2. Even if the first 2 things manage to work themselves out, there’s still no guarantee that his offense is a viable offense in the NFL.

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 01:23:31 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2900919I don’t think Chip has even figured out his own offense yet, it sure looks awful. You don’t bring a new system in and implement it with players not capable of doing it. Hot shot college coahces are always gonna change the way the NFL works, and they all scurry back to kiddie ball soon enough.

You missed the part where Pete Carroll was an assistant under Bud Grant, became a head coach, assisted George Seifert, again an NFL head coach, THEN coached in college.

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:38:14 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2900854I would venture to say that 98% of the people commenting on this post couldn’t tell you the difference between this offense and the single wing. Kelly is right about one thing football plays are all about execution, every play of every offense is a T.D. if executed properly.

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:31:58 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2900842Although I think Oakland will win the game this week with an East Coast team traveling to West, Foles will return and continue to move Kelly’s offense. Eagles score 27 plus and everyone forgets the last two games.

Kelly has the knowledge but does’nt have the horses.

Watching the leagues leading rusher refuse to run north/south the last two weeks and the QBs not being able to hit the side of a barn makes any offensive plan go South.

Kelly has not helped with some real minor league moves.

Like a few people commented some great coaches started first years looking like losers. Also some were losers. Time will tell not eight games.

Tue, 29 Oct 2013 00:25:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2220767#comment-2900825Anyone remember the last coach to come out of the NCAA ranks to be successfull? JJohnson was the last. Don’t give me PCarroll. He got his a$$ kicked in the NFL, went back to college FB, with his tail between his legs, escaped before USC sanctions and now is successful in the NFL. Even though he has a lot of guys suspended(both his and former NCAA players).

Jim Harbaugh seems to be doing well and like it or not Pete basically turned over the entire Seahawks roster. They seem to be doing ok. NFL coordinators fail too. Trust me, I’ve watched Scott Linehan and Steve Spagnola “coach.”

If you’re offense can’t drive a Volkswagen, you sure don’t put them in a Ferrari.
